About Us We are Nicole & Gary Stone, we founded Yoga Breaks in Spain shortly after moving to Spain in 2003. Gary was a school teacher in the UK and Nicole was a corporate marketing manager (& part time yoga teacher) both working long hours without ever seeming to get anywhere. Sound familiar?
Nicole knew she loved teaching yoga more than the "exciting" world of corporate marketing. "After years of studying & teaching yoga, I realised I felt happiest when I was on my yoga mat rather than behind a desk. I spent months ignoring my nagging intuition & kept juggling work, yoga & home life.
Eventually, a serious illnesses forced me to slow down & think about the way we lived. That was when I awoke to the fact that yoga bought more peace and joy to me than the trappings of a successful career". This is what prompted us to escape to Spain. And now, here we are, running yoga holidays for stressed people like we used to be!
The Costa Blanca area of Spain is truly beautiful with stunning mountain scenery all along the coastline and an abundance of green, lush vegetation. The pace of life here is much slower. No-one is measured by what car they drive, how much they earn or what they're wearing. This is how life should be. Within months of arriving, we ran our first yoga holidays for friends & family but word spread & friends of the friends wanted to come too! Now we run holidays between March & October when the weather is at it's absolute best.
The Yoga BreaksTeam In addition to the Yoga Teachers - read about those on The Yoga page - we have a great team of people who make the world of difference to our yoga holidays. We have two therapists - Valerie & Leelananda. This duo are true professionals having worked on cruise ships, The Sanctuary in Covent Garden and salons across the world. Valerie dispenses with traditional beauty treatments and Leelananda is Reiki Master and Thai Masseuse. Read about their therapies on the Therapies page.

Gary and Sarah are our mountain bike guides - or should we say mountain goats! They know the area like the back of their hands. They'll take you on a fantastic ride with expert guidance and care. ps. don't worry, they tailor the route & ride according to your experience & bravery!
Gary who guides the walks, is a great conversationalist and all round good egg! He's the one with the black t-shirt on the right. .... just look at that gorgeous March sunshine!
You'll also meet other members of the support team from John, George & Kevin our airport drivers & of course, the holidays would not be complete without the backup of the hotel client liaison team and housekeeping wizards who spring clean your room every day. Not forgetting chef who is as passionate about creating delicious healthy dishes as we are about our yoga. A great, well rounded team.

We moved to Spain to take a break from the pressures of
UK living. Our daughter, Poppy, was spending 10 hours a day at a
child minder whilst we rushed between work, home, domestic duties and seeing
friends. It was exhausting. We knew that if we
didn't change, something was going to break.
